This app is almost perfect. Able to watch tons of olymic events with great comentary. Have had almost none of the problems other reviewers are mentioning. One day we had resolution issues for a could hours and one other day we couldn't get video to play until we restarted our phones. Otherwise the experien e has been great. App used on a Note 8 and iPhone 6

Replaced cbc sports, plays ads when you do anything (change stream or back out). Taxpayer funded broadcasting system that plays more ads than their competitors is part if the reason for the low rating. Unacceptable. Streaming quality is awful. Tried different devices , different internet sources, and at best its still blurry. Awful quality and service.

Good coverage, but WAY TOO MANY adverts in the videos. Those ads are a waste of my very expensive data CBC . I don't pay you via my tax dollars to cost me more. Cut out the ads.... The previous issue with the banner ad at the bottom of the screen covering up content, appears to be fixed now.

Works up to just before the results in the event are determined? Keeps crashing and replaying ads for 30 secs then repeats the nonsense. App was good on the second day, & kind of slowed down since. Thanks CBC, A for effort !

Video clips embedded in news stories weren't playing first time. Sometimes clearing the cache fixes it, other times not. Update seems to have fixed this issue. I wish the highlights were better packaged to tell story of the event but app is very useful for catch-up. Video highlights section has tendency to back out to the home page after you play one, annoying.

The live and replay videos won't work on my phone. Not planing to buy a new phone. Unstalling and reinstalling didn't work. Everything else works but not the Live video and replay videos. The video ads play fine but after the Live or replay video starts, it refreshes then loads and does the same thing again. Then a pop up says video error. Everything works fine on my iPad on the iOS version. FIX this CBC.

If the app is software just for onetime use, or is intended for use with future Winter/Summer Olympics. Either way could use some minor improvements, but for the most part is a well designed "free" app for Android in general, and works really well for replaying/streaming over Chromecast... a big plus in staying up to snuff on missed events.

Great app to stay current with Olympic events. Have not had the crash problems others seem to have and I am using an older Android S3 tablet. The only problem is the ad at the bottom of the screen covers the last events on the list so you can't access the updates on those.

People are ridiculous. This is a great app, bug free, delivering free content at a great speed. People complain that there are too many ads for an app their "tax dollars pay for" do they not realize the app might not be possible if it weren't for the ads? Maybe, just maybe, the app subsidizing it's cost through ads is a way of reducing the cost to the taxpayers? Jeeeeeez. People complain about anything.

Good repository of highlight videos and full competition videos. Good diversity of news and stories. However, the scheduling portion of the app is incredibly annoying as it only shows you the day broken down by sport. I want a thorough schedule broken down by hour telling me exactly when everything is playing--a one-look schedule that tells me when to tune in to the events that I care about. The tv guide is kind of like that but doesn't have enough information on it.

App is much improved from first version. It would still be nice if they added a simple results by day view which includes all sports and results at a glance. I have use a different Olympics app to get that info. Too many ads still.
